This novel starts at the cliffhanger Wastelands ended on. Roland, Eddie, Jake and Suz are aboard the suicidal monorail named Blaine, they have a bet with the super computer. If they ask him a riddle he cannot solve then he will let them live, if he can solve every riddle when he reaches the end of the line Blaine will continue at his 800+ mph and kill them all.
We also go back in this novel to the beginning of Roland Deschain's day's as a gunslinger, as a boy of 14 in the land of Gilead; before the world truly moved on. We meet the enchanting Susan his one true love, Bert and Alain his best friends and what befell them in that time and place so long ago now.
This was the best novel so far (I honestly can't decide between 1,2&4 but whatever) I have been wondering about Roland since the first novel and finally we got some answers to all the hints! I was speed reading the last half or quarter of book 3 to get to this and it didn't disappoint. I loved it and was upset at ever having to put the book down to do anything else. Everything in this is so well rounded and fully written. Each place, person and thing doesn't just seem real but is real. King truely has brought this all together in a masterpiece! He is a genius and I can't wait to finish the remaining novels on my TBR and get to the Stephen King Universe book that illustrates how it has all been woven together.
